Job Description:
Control Systems engineers work to elicit customer requirements, define and validate control system-level requirements, and decompose those requirements into component-specific requirements for electronics, software, and hardware teams. They also verify (test) the implemented system to perform hardware-software integration and system-level testing across a variety of test platforms, from simulations to full aircraft flight test. Throughout all this work Control Systems engineers ensure show compliance to ARP4754A and customer airworthiness requirements, creating the lifecycle data to prove system development is correct and complete.

Control Software engineers work to create validated high-level and low-level software requirements and designs from the system-level requirements, and then implement those designs in code, testing the designs and code in a series of simulation and increasingly-integrated sets of system functionality. Software engineers perform hardware-software integration, and assist System engineers in executing a comprehensive test suite, including ground- and flight-test support. Throughout all this work Control Systems engineers ensure show compliance to DO-178C and customer airworthiness requirements, creating the lifecycle data to prove software development is correct and complete.
Toolsets and development environments used by System and Software engineers vary by program, from text-based requirements and hand coded software to fully model-based system and software engineering.

Key Accountabilities:
Develop safety-critical gas turbine engine control system and software to a mix of ARP4754A, DO-178C, military standards, and customer-driven compliance objectives
Define a complete and correct set of requirements to describe functionality and constraints at the system and software levels, ensuring high-quality requirements which are validated and appropriately traced.
Develop system and software designs, implementing those in code to perform required features, then testing those implemented components individually and as an integrated system to ensure that the resulting product fully complies with requirements.
Develop and modify processes and methods to enable the team to achieve compliance objectives and optimal development pace
Setting up, modify, and use continuous integration / continuous deployment (CI/CD) frameworks to enable iterative software development, software testing, and system testing of product
Liaison with certification airworthiness authorities to explain approaches, demonstrate compliance to objectives, and close out audit findings
Basic Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in aerospace, electrical, mechanical, software, or computer engineering or computer science with 2-10 years of experience in control system/software engineering (development or testing) OR
Masters Degree with experience in control system/software engineering OR
JD/PhD
Must be a US Citizen
Preferred Qualifications (all are ideal, but any are a plus):
5-15 years' experience in embedded safety-critical system or software engineering
Experience with design of safety-critical control systems
Familiar with Model-based design tools, (e.g. Cameo Systems Modeller, Matlab Simulink)
Experience with military qualification and/or FAA certification of airborne systems
Experience with integration (software/hardware and software/software), component level testing, and integrated system-level testing on test platforms of increasing maturity
Experience with system and/or software life cycle (Requirements, Design, Verification and Release)
Experience with control of gas turbine engines
Experience with ADA, Python, C, C++
Familiar with continuous integration and testing frameworks, such as Jenkins
